Area of Science:

  • Comparative Medicine
  • Animal Model Research
  • Regulatory Science

Background:

  • Zebrafish (Danio rerio) are increasingly utilized as a model organism in biomedical research.
  • Current regulatory frameworks for animal research have not kept pace with the expanding use of zebrafish.
  • This necessitates a proactive approach to developing appropriate guidelines for zebrafish care and use.

Framework:

  • The panel discussion focused on the current regulatory landscape in the United States for laboratory animals.
  • Exploration of existing regulations for traditional mammalian models and their potential applicability to zebrafish.
  • Identification of key challenges in aligning research practices with ethical standards.

Implementation:

  • Summarizes a panel discussion from the Aquaculture America 2009 Conference.
